wow the mission is passing by so fast. this week was a little difficult just with trying to get the people to progress, but there was a cool miracle on sunday we were in the new convert investigator class and the lesson was on baptism, and this lady we have been working with for 3 months finally accepted a fecha for this weekend which was awesome. we found her my first week here and baptized her son, he was the easiest investigator ever we put the fecha in the first lesson and he was great. but she had already been baptized but after a lot of lessons and time she finally understood. it was cool to see the power of agency, and how much agency is really important. before it was like we were trying to drag her to get baptized, but after the spirit testified to her she understood and wanted to do it. we have a lot of really good people we are teaching but this week was a little hard with getting them to progress, but with every challenge and difficulity comes growth and progression. on tuesday i had an intercambio with Elder Badger who played football for Stanford a year ago when they were like 3 in the nation and won the orange bowl or something like that. but he was really cool we had a great time and worked hard. he was just a walk on but still it was cool he was on the team and knew a couple of famous players and the really good coach they have. so everything is going great this week is gonig to awesome, tomorrow we have a conference and the next week we have cambios so we will see what happens. love you lots Elder Brimhall
